Abstract
I argue that social institutions, such as the legal system, educational and cultural institutions, and even science itself understood as an institution, can contribute to and even be constitutive of cognition. I review various arguments against the extended mind hypothesis and the parity principle in light of this perspective, and I suggest that this concept of the socially extended mind can serve as a useful tool for critical theory.
